No lie, no lie
Last carnival I was beatin' iron
In an all star band
When I meet up a nice big young woman
And hse come and she tell me
That she want me to beat my iron for she
And she windin' up she body
If you hear she
Give me the eye, eye
Give me thy eye, eye
I tell she I am the man
And I am the champion
I come down from Iron Land
If you hear she
Give me the eye, eye
Give me the eye, eye
If you see me sittin' in the band
With an iron in my hand
Sock it to me, rock it to me, man
She tell me in the midst of a good jam session
I remend she of an iron man
That took I and tried
She said that is the man
And I'm kind of late for she
She'd be surprised
Give me the eye, eye
Give me they eye, eye
I tell she I am the man
And I am the champion
I come down from Iron Land
If you hear she
Give me the eye, eye
Give me the eye, eye
If you see me sittin' in the band
With an iron in my hand
Sock it to me, rock it to me, man
No lie, no lie
No lie, no lie
No lie, no lie
No lie, no lie
Downtown the woman get drunk and fall down
And she raise up her dress and she run
And she wind up in front of policeman
Sayin' how can you work
With a man beatin' pan
So she grab on to the same man
Give me the eye, eye
Give me theyeye, eye
I tell she I am the man
And I am the champion
I come down from Iron Land
If you hear she
Give me the eye, eye
Give me the eye, eye
If you see me sittin' in the band
With an iron in my hand
Sock it to me, rock it to me, man
No lie, no lie
Now is midnight, still beatin' I
And forget that woman
If you hear a tune in a steel band
Well now she gone crazy
She said how can you beat I
And still...
Hear she callin'
Give me the eye, eye
Give me they eye, eye
I tell she I am the man
And I am the champion
I come down from I ron Land
If you hear she
Give me the eye, eye
Give me the eye, eye
If you see me sittin' in the band
With an iron in my hand
Sock it to me, rock it to me, man
